Explicit FTP proxy sessions and protocol options
Since the traffic accepted by the explicit FTP proxy is known to be FTP and since the ports are already known by the proxy, the explicit FTP proxy does not use the FTP port protocol options settings.
When adding security profiles to an FTP proxy security policy, you must select a protocol options profile. In most cases you can select the default protocol options profile. You could also create a custom protocol options profile.
The explicit FTP proxy supports the following protocol options:
• FTP oversized file action and threshold
The explicit FTP proxy does not support the following protocol options:
• Client comforting
• Server comforting
• Monitor content information from dashboard. URLs visited by explicit FTP proxy users are not added to dashboard usage and log and archive statistics widgets.
